The book tells the life stories of women who lived in the eighteenth century in a Christian-Jewish village on the border of Germany and France. This microhistorical approach allows the author to uncover fascinating artefacts of a cultural contact between Christians and Jews that was part of a social order based on pluralism and diversity.
Shulamit and Margarete takes a microhistorical look at a small village on the border of Germany and France in the eighteenth century. Drawing on the rich source material of the village, it casts a searching light on the boundaries created by language, states, religions, cultures, sex, and gender. By writing the history of the village from multiple perspectives, the author is able to uncover fascinating artefacts of a cultural contact between Christians and Jews, and to gain insights into the agency and experiences of women in rural society. The book is enhanced by a variety of sources and illustrations relating to Jewish history, such as the last will of Abraham Levy and the previously unknown portraits of Fromette Levy and Bernard Lipmann.
